Solidarity with Yugoslavia Needed

Dear comrades,

Catastrophic floods affected specific areas of
Serbia and Bosnia & Herzegovina, which caused great material damage
and took dozens of human lives.

The cause of natural weather disasters, heavy rains which caused the
floods, are primarily serious ecological problems caused by global
warming, which is the result of non-existence of planned and
ecologically sustainable economy, as well as exhaustion of natural
resources beyond all measures, with the purpose of maximization of
profit. The imperative of imperatives in capitalism, the profit of
capitalists, shows its irresponsible, greedy and ecocidal side in the
most brutal way, exhausting and destroying planet’s resources, ignoring
the extreme natural disasters as inevitable side effects. Such
brutality is currently most obviously felt by our citizens. However, it
is necessary to mention that natural disasters would cause much less
damage if the infrastructure of our country wasn’t in such desperate
condition, which is the consequence of corruption and plundering by
foreign and domestic capitalists and their bourgeoisie parties. The
question that should be especially asked in this situation is why was
an important part of heritage of the socialist development of our
homeland – civil defense, destroyed? Civil defense was organized on the
territorial principle, and in case of emergencies, it could always
without any difficulty, mobilize great number of trained and which is
perhaps even more important, well equipped citizens. On the local
level, the civil defense possessed a storehouse and supplies which
today are plundered, that contained all the necessary equipment,
including boats, flash lamps, rubber boots...

In these moments, we invite all to show solidarity and offer every
possible necessary support and help to the threatened population in the
affected areas. Primarily there is a need of blankets and mattresses,
toiletries, dippers, powdered milk, water, canned food and packaged
meals. We would like to ask you participate in providing aid which is
necessary to couple hundred thousand citizens who are now left without
their homes, through humanitarian organizations and an organization of
Red Cross in your country, or in any other way.
